Major Update for Blog!!!!

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!


Ok where to begin. I know its be a while since I've blogged...and thanks Kat H for getting on me for that. :) But so much has been going on that I just dont have the time. So lets begin with the house.


The house has finally started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of last week, we have a concret foundation floor, and poured concrete walls for the basement!!!!! We are really excited! We hope and believe they are starting to frame this week. Which would be soooo nice! I think once we get that up and a roof on, it will really hit us that this house is going to be ours soon. We also last week got a permitt address for the house! We have a real address instead of Lot #35. :)


Germany news: Everyone is doing well. Robbie's father and stepmom however did loose their older puppy a few weeks ago. She was really old but lived a happy life. They did adopt another doggie so now they are back to two pups. We are still hoping to be over there for Robbie's bday this year.....

My 30th birthday.....OMG! For this I have to go back alittle ways.....Ok my bestfriend Minhee has always been in the states (She now lives in Canada with my goddaughter Marissa), for my birthday. This year Marissa is in Kindergarden. So we thought they wouldnt be here till the summer. Well a few things happened in Canada and Minhee decided a few weeks ago she was going to come home. So at first she told me Mayish, then changed it to April 1st. She had told everyone this new day and her parents and I were the last ones know about the new date. She was trying to make it a surprise for us. So these past few days Minhee has been saying to me how she wishes she could be here on my actual birthday, which I kept telling her its no big deal, and I would see her the following week. So then she told me that she wouldnt be able to call me on my birthday bc her husband was taking her to a restort for the night. Some quality time for them before she comes here for 5months. Okie Dokie. So March 22, she told me she would call me later on the 23rd. Ok fine. Robbie brought me to work on the 23rd and also picked me up saying it was easier because he was taking me out to dinner that night, then driving two cars. And because it was my birthday. :) People at work did give me a party. Pasteries for the morning breakfast and a great cake for lunch! So Robbie picks me up at 4:30 and we start heading all around VA/DC/MD. And I asked him where we were going. He wouldnt tell me at first then finally fessed up that we were going to PF Changs at Whiteflint Mall. I asked him why all the way in MD when we have one in Sterling and Arlington. He said they didnt have reservations for tonight. Ok weird....they dont take reservations...but whatever. So we get to the mall, and Robbie has been putting his foot down on me buying stuff to decorate the house before we get in there. So he takes me to Pottery Barn. He says "Do you want me to see if we can eat now?" Since its 6:30pm and our "reservations" are at 7:30. Ok fine. Whatever, I'm shopping. So he comes back a few minutes later and says we can go eat now. So we go downstairs in the mall to get into the back door of PF Changs.....well the back door is two glass doors. So walking hand and hand towards the doors, Iook into the resturent and see a little korean girl....and I said "Hey thats my Marissa!" At the same time Marissa spots me and tells someone near her "Aunt Erin is here!" and points at me. I open the door and around the corner is MINHEE! That was it. I started crying!!!! I hugged my goddaughter and my bestfriend. My face according to everyone was priceless. Minhee's cousin Kimberly was also there. She had picked them up from the airport at 2pm BWI and had brought them to meet us for dinner! So we get settled down and I'm still crying..and laughing. Well another one of our friends show up, Greg, and we decide to do the presents. Minhee got me clothes, a nice warm blanket that says Canada on it, 2010 Olympic shirt, oragomie that she made, a cd, and a tigger doll with a maple leaf outfit on him. And bollons, even with one that says "Over the hill" on it. Marissa made me some orgamie also. Robbie...like he hadnt done enough said there was another surprise. Mind you everyone knows all this that is going on. From the dates that Minhee was coming in, to the dinner, to every surprise Min and Robbie had planned. That includes my 5yr goddaughter! She even knew what was going on! So Robbie hands me a present the size of a card but its wrapped. So with Marissa at my side I start to unwrapp it and take the card out of the enevelope. Something slipped out and Robbie grabbed it. So for this part I have to take you back to 3weeks ago when I mentioned to Robbie about going away for my bday weekend. He said that was a good idea and I thought I figured out where he was taking me, and even his sister confirmed it. I thought we be going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg/VA Beach this weekend.....So I read the card to Marissa, and then Robbie hands me something....after a few moments I realize what was in the card....TWO TICKETS TO GO SEE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IN NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Robbie is taking me to NYC this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea that set off another thing of tears! I had remember I mentioned to my mom one day a few months ago how cool it would be to go to NYC for my 30th bday....oh my mother was involved...she bought our train tickets. Even Robbie's sister was involved in all of this. Minhee, Greg, Kimberly and Marissa also got me a Korean Birthday Cake! Which I love so much! They are soooooo expensive but all sooooooooooo good! Just having the people I love with me on my birthday was the best present I got.Having Robbie, Minhee and Marissa there for my 30th birthday was undiscribable. And everyone knew the real date Minhee was coming home, including her parents.I was the only who didnt know! If you all know Minhee and I, we are very close (since we dont have sisters, and we met junior year in highschool at seton), and we cant keep secrets from eachother at all....Min said this was the hardest weeks of her life esp. talking to me every day and me wanting her to come home so she can have a vacation from Canada. She told me that she almost slipped at times and it was hard for her to keep it from me. She also said that's why every time I wanted to talk to Marissa, she wouldnt let me because she is 5yrs old and didnt want her to accidently tell me about the surprise. Poor kid. Marissa was sooooo good the whole night, even though they were up at 3:00am to catch their flight down to MD. Marissa was just so happy that they were there and everything. Minhee said that she kept asking her when it was time to go and surprise Aunt Erin. :) Minhee and Greg also got me a giftcard to use anywhere for a shopping!

So thats been my life in a nutshell the past few months. Minhee and Marissa are here till the end of August. Which means they will be here to see the house and stay in it. Marissa also brought a present for Chase, which she did give to me but I'll have her there with him when he opens it. :)

I will post pictures through out their stay here, the house being built, the NYC trip, and anything else that happens. We are all going to the Cherry Blossom festival on 4/10. Minhee and Kimberly have never seen them and of course Marissa hasnt either. So we are excited about that and going to the Washington Zoo to see the pandas, and ofcourse dye easter eggs! So all these pictures will be up online on Facebook and Snapfish!!!!

Thank you again to Minhee, Robbie, Kimberly, Gregg and Marissa for my making 30th birthday one to remember and a very special one! I love all of you!

a new year!!!!!

hello everyone!
it is 2010 and this year is going to be an awsome year! robbie and i are building our house in winchester, va and we are excited! our pre-contruction meeting is this friday! i cant believe that one of my dreams is about to come true. before you all start asking with that ring will be arriving, i dont think that will be happening till after the settlement of the house. which is may/june is. which is fine by me. we are still planning to go to Octoberfest in Germany this coming fall and hoping to be in Frankfurt for Robbie's bday with his father and step mom! :)

Speaking of bdays, the bad thing about this year is i will be turning 30yrs old. blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have no idea what i want before you all ask nor do i know what i want to do. i know im working. i kind of wish we were already in the house to have some kind of party. oh well. ill still be alittle sad that im going to be old. blahhhhhh......

germany family is doing well. robbies father is walking around some part of germany right now. kiki is doing good after her pre-christmas conculsion, and is heading back out to the slops soon. i however are now more frighten to go skiing, but robbie has already told me that i will have to wear a helmet when we go. which i agree to.

i have to say this new year has gone good so far. and want to thank mrs. beck for nicely cutting me out of her life i really appericiate it and hope she has all the happiness in the world. defriending me on face book instead of telling me in person or via email was a great mature way of doing it. and thats all i got to say about that.

ok well im sleepy and the only real reason i blogged is bc my good friend kat h. blogged tonight so i thought i would follow! lol

hugs

Blizzard 2009

Well it snowed. Shocking. Robbie and I got snowed in at our apartment so we made the best of it. Here are some pictures. My bestfriend Amber decided however to have a baby in the middle of the snow storm yesterday. Luckly she did get to the hospital in plenty of time and have a great delievery. She had a beautiful baby girl named Caraline Faith born at 3:51pm weighing in at 8lbs 8ozs, 20 1/2inches long! They are both doing great! Between the snow and Amber giving birth you would think that would be enough excitment for me for the weekend. But nope...Not me! So walking around this morning I decided to take pictures to send to our German family and see how pretty it is. Robbie was at our building shoveling out cars. So I got aroud the block back near our apartment, and I see a backhoe trying to clear a section of the street. As I walk by I notice water bubbling up. Ok I think theres a creek or something like it in this area, so I didnt think that much about it....Well a few seconds later its now bubbling up higher and the guy is now on the phone with the back hoe turned off. So I walk a few more feet down and there hear a noise. I turn to see water now shootup 60+feet into the air and the guy in and the back hoe is now hauling butt out of the area! OH MY GOD! So I start runinng back towards Robbie yelling for him. I get to him and tell him what I just saw. Robbie works for the water company in our county. He goes running with my cell phone calling work to get it called in. We get back there and the fire department is pulling up. They walked over to me asking if I called it in and asked me where the car was. I was like it wasnt a car, it was a backhoe. So the cops arrive! The officer comes over to me, thanks to the fire department guy, and starts questioning me. I pointed to the area where I saw the guy drive off to and the cop goes to find him. Great! Well it turns off the guy was going to get his boss up the street...who kows if thats true. The water company got there and turned the water all the way off. The backhoe took out the whole fire hydren (yea thats what it was) and blew out all the dirt around it. Nice! So the boss guy ends up coming back to the secne and asks the water guy what kind of price...$5,000-8,000 and that doesnt include the labor! Yea good luck buddy!

wow its been a while!

hey everyone!
it has been since my keys trip since ive written anything! wow! alot has happned in the past months.

robbbie and i are still house hunting. he did get a contract in on a house just to luckly have a homeowners inspection tell us about mold and possible pluming issues. wow! which we knew the owner was not going to fix. he basically bought a forcloser and covered up the problems to make it look pretty. which we almost feel for it. robbies bday was back in september. we didnt do anything real big this year in prepartion for the house. i took him to the rusty scuffer in baltimore city for dinner and then walked about the inner habour. october's big thing was heading to new portnews for robbie's college alumni homecoming and cook out. it was great to see his one professor that is from germany and show him some pictures from out trip. however while talking to one of his friends down there we found out that alot is going to happen at the end of the year with my favorite place busch gardens. we found out that the roller coaster that i grew up on, the big bad wolfe, was shut down. they were getting rid of it. since it has out lived its life. and that the horses were also leaving. we were staying down in va beach across from robbies friend dave. after much thinking, robbie was sweet enough to take me to busch gardens for the day and night. i got my picture taken with the horse one more time. i have about 25pictures through the years of me with them. i got to see the big bad wolfe one last time. the last day it ran was labor day weekend. it was a 4hr line to ride it. oh well. it will be missed. the park is going to stay open but it wont be the same with out that roller coaster and horses. we were thinking about getting seasons passes however now with all the changes are going to wait.

the family in germany is doing good. robbies and kikis dad has been on several walking trips. he is currently on another one for the changing of the leaves. robbies uncle was over here in dc for miltary business and robbie and kiki got to meet up with him for dinner. gernot also got to see kathy (their mom) for the first time in over 20yrs! robbie and i are still planning on going to germany next sept for octoberfest. im hoping that it will fall around robbies bday so we can be there for his bday with his german family.

i wonder what november and december holds for us! january is our anniversery. 2yrs!!! we are now living together full time. so thats progress. ok have to run and work on pictures! ttyl

The Keys News

hey everyone!
well here it is. the long awaited Keys trip blog. I'll try to make it short and sweet:

Friday July 31st: Robbie tried to find our flight while at work just to see if it was on time. He couldnt locate it or thought he had the wrong flight number. I said no it should be there but I wasnt sure of the flightnumber either. So we didnt think anymore about it. I get home from work and hear my mom yelling on the phone. She was on hold with some one and I asked her what was wrong. She said she got an email saying she could check us in, went to go do it and couldnt find the flight number. The flight got canceled 12hrs before departure! WTF! And American Airlines basically told her she was SOL. Um I dont think so. They told her it wasnt their fault that the plane has machincal issues and they arent getting another one to replace it. So we can leave on Saturday but at 3:00pm instead of 6:30am. Which means that now two days will be wasted. Leaving at 3:00 would but us hopefully in Key West by 10pm and hopefully we can still pick up our car. However the grocery stores down there close at 10 so that means sunday will be spend getting groceries and maybe getting the car incase ken and donna would have to pick us up if we dont get the car that night. GREAT! The offered Dullus instead but that would be 30mins later. What intellegece was that! So at 11pm friday night Dave (a friend of Robbies) txted him telling Robbie to tell me about the Passenger Bill of Rights. HEHE!! And here we go! So I get on the phone to American Airlines and start up. They tell me now that the reason for the flight to be canceled was weather. Wow they can predicate the weather 12hrs a head of time. LIARS! I told her shes lieing and to try again. All the while I was online looking for flights. I found a Contiential flight that leaves BWI at 630am to Ohio to Tampa to Key West. Lets do that. She tells me she cant bc they arent partners with American. Ok so whos problem is that. Not mine. She tells me she can refund the tickets and I can purchase the Contiential ones. Yea No. Not happening bc those tickets are 1300.00 for the three of us bc we would be last minute flyers. Try again. So I told her about the Bill. She then stumped and had to go get her supervisor. HEEHEHE. Then she tried to get out of doing saying she couldnt find the flight. Then after another 30mins of argueing with her the flight magically appeared. It is now 12:45am. She goes and calls Contiential and comes back on the phone with me saying its going to take awhile and she would have to call me back. Yea nice try. I finally agreed after getting her name, title, extension number, work ID, and told her she had 1hr. Or else I would be calling back. So while Robbie and Mom slept, I read New Moon and waited for the phone call. 1:45am the phone rings. Amazingly that it did and that I got our flights booked! I woke up Robbie and Mom and told them we have a 6:30am flight and we needed to leave at 4am for the airport. They both being asleep and not quit awake were shocked. We get to the airport, check in, dont pay for a check bagged. Granted we were sitting together for the flights. Robbi and I did from Ohio to Tampa. We got to the keys around 3pm which was the time our American flight would have left from BWI. Great. Got the car, groceries and headed to the house!

The rest of the week was a piece of cake! Robbie went snorkling for the first time the next day and got a little sea sick. Some rough water the first day. But he was fine the rest of the week. We spend a day down in Key West. We went to the Southern most point, light house, Duvall Street, and on a sunset booz cruise! Robbie got to see the 7mile bridge also. We had a few times of quick showers. One shower did cancel our trip to the Gulf of Mexico (they call it the back country). We were trying to go for two days, but we did get to go at least one day. It was really cool. To get there you have to maintain a certain speed on a boat so that you plane out bc if you dont, you can get stuck bc its so shallow and you dont ever look down into the water if youre driving. So you basically need to cost over the water. It was really neat! I got to show Robbie what it looked like to see 17 feet down in water! He did see a shark at one point which scared him! :) I went surface diving a few times. Mom caught lobsters! We saw losts of fish and two that we havent ever seen before. We got to see a big Jud Fish which must weighs more the 75pds! That was really weird. He looks like he belonged in Jurasic Park. We also attended Lobster Fest 2009 downtown. Duvall street is the oldest street in Key West and also has most of the bars. Next year I plan to do the Duvall Bar Street Crawl! :) It was hard laying out on a boat and holding my beer at the same time. So needless to say I got a lovely tan. Robbie had a good time and him and mom got along great. I did ended up getting an ear infection once we got home. I guess you arent spost to dive 17feet then get on a plane. Robbie doesnt think the first flight (which was unfort American Airlines) was presurized correctly. So I have been battling an ear infection in both ears for week!

Coming home with that airline wasnt fun either. After asking how we could bring lobster and shrimp home, the stupid airline said we could bring it on the flight and we could pack it in dry ice. So when we checked in, the ticket agent asked if we were checking anything else like the cooler I had with the other two bags we already checked. We had no problem getting through Security. They actually laughed when they looked inside and said have a great flight. We go to get on the plane, mom was going to carry on the cooler with her camera bag. As we go to walk out the gate agent asked what was in the cooler. We told him seafood. He then asked what was keeping it cold. Ummm Dry ice idiot. He says we cant take it on the plane, that it was a hazerdous material! WTF! I said your stupid ass people on the phone told us we could pack it and bring it on like this! He said nope unless you fill out paper work and pay $40.00 for it! Mom tells me and Robbie to get on the plane and she would be on. So as we sit and watch others board my mom hasnt gotten on yet. The last person getts on and they are getting ready to "seal" the plane. I start panicking bc she has our boarding passes from Miami to BWI for one and two I know shes really upset. She does make the plane and tells me that they had brought down the ticket agent to see if she asked us what was in the cooler. Mom said that the agent saw the cooler but never asked about it only if we were checking it and that it went through TSA fine! They told her no their problem. Great! So we get to BWI and we pick up our bags to find out that my moms duffel bag is ruined. The wheel is broken off and around the where its spost to be was riped opend. When she went to go cocmplain to the airline in the airport they told her that it wasnt their responsiblity about the bag and being damaged. That the passengers understand that if the bag is damaged that its not the airlines faught. YEA RIGHT! So now mom is fighting with them about those two things and the whole lieing in the beginging about the flight. DO NOT FLY AMERICAN AIRLINES!

So all in all minus the flight BS, we had a great time. We did get rain and it did make it alittle difficult to see underswater some days. But other days it was crystal clear blue water! We went to one place that Ken goes diving its 22feet deep and when we looked out on it from the boat you could see all the way down! Now that is real water! You could even see people when they dived in to it. It was awsome! Next I would love to take Robbie on a cruise! I think he would enjoy it. So now its back to the grind of work and stuff. I am back to job interviewing and house hunting with Robbie.

Well have to get ready to head to Bmore. Pictues are up on facebook on my site and will be up on snapfish soon. :)

Hugs!

atlanta stories!!!

hello everyone!!!
this past thursday robbie and i headed to atlanta. he has a seminar/class for computers during the week and we decided to go down earlier so i can go with him and see the sights. about two years ago i was down in atlanta to vist min when she lived there that year. so i saw alot of stuff but it was all new to robbie and it ment a day off of work for me! so we had a 7:30pm flight. Which got us down there arou 9:15ishy. We got the bag we checked and jumped on the Marta (their version of metro). After about 40mins on that we had to get off and get on another line that would take us to the stop near our hotel. It is now Midnight. We got off of the Marta and started walking 1.5miles to our hotel. Yes we walked at Midnight. The reason is bc the shuttel stoped runing at 10pm. Well the suitcase rolls and we took turns pulling it and carrying his laptop. So at 1:45am we get there and get the key.Which doesnt work and meaning Robbie had to go back down and get it reprogrammed. Im now tire, hot, sweaty, and hungry! Needless to say I did kind of bite Robbies head off a few times before finally going to sleep.

We woke up the next morning to some noise and decided to go to the Coca-Cola Museum. So we ate breakfast and headed down to the Marta to get down town. I had been to the old Coca-Cola Museum and was eager to see if the new one was just as good. They hurd you around like cattle in the begining part of it and its a maze through the rest. They didnt have that much stuff they had in the original one. I found out that they only brought 5% of the memobria with them to the new one. Well that sucks! So we headed back to the hotel since we were still tire. We took a nap and woke up around 7ish. To some more noise. We oredered pizza and watched TV in the room. Well at 10:45 we were getting ready for bed and the noise outside our door was so loud. We found out that there were two huge family reuions in the hotel that weekend. So Robbie looks out the peep hole and see a bunch of people just standing in the hallway talking. So I called down to the front desk and complain. In a few mins it died down. Then started up again. Ok enough! its 11pm at night and Im dead tire! So we get dressed and head down to the front desk. I explained to the lady, Daloris, about what was going on and she said she sent someone up and then they started up again. She then said let me see if she could move me. Well they couldnt find anywhere in the hotel since they were all over the place. Except the VIP floor! Sweet you need a special key to get up here. And best part PEACE AND QUIET! Plus Daloris gave us four coupons to get breakfast free. Nice! So we got a peaceful night sleep and ready to get up early the head to the aquirium.

So the next morning we went to go see the Whale Sharks! And they are sooooooooooooooo cute! I'm glad we got there early bc it was getting packed when we were in there and when we left. We headed back to the hotel and then went to see Harry Potter 5 and then to PF Changs (dont hate amberly) for dinner. After dinner Robbie called the hotel for the shuttel so we wouldnt have to walk back. The guy said he would be right over which would take about 5mins. Well after 15mins Robbie got a phone call from the guy apologizing and said he was on his way and would explain later. Ok no problem. So he got there and we headed back. He said he was on his way to get us but the people in the reuion kept getting in the van to have him take them to the liquir store! Great they are getting drunk! But we are on the VIP floor and they arent up there!

So the next morning is Sunday and we get up,eat and Robbie had to switch rooms to another suite bc of some snobby person who always getts in the room we were in. Ok no problem. The hotel staff was awsome. We get another ride to the Marta since we were spending the day dowtown before heading to the airport for me. While Wendy was driving us she said she was sorry about the stay for me and all the noise. Turns out that the first night the famlies were there, they were smoking pot in the room. Great! Then we found out thanks to her that they trashed the pool area the second night and the lobby. That they had broken glasses all over the place, stole towels, blankets, and trashed a few rooms! Needless to say they were not happy to see me go but wished it was those other people. But Robbie getts a suite out of it with out the price. He even getts into the Club room in the hotel. Score!

We got to the airport about 3hrs before my flight. After me crying alittle good bye and getting through security, I went to my gate and waited. Becasue I only carried on my camera bag, I didnt have a book or anything to do to entertain me before and during the flight. Robbie headed back to the hotel so I talked to him for a while. Then I went on hunt for some kind of book. I ended up buying the first book in the Twilight series. Thanks to Em, Amber, and Min I decided to give it a shot. Which was great. We got on the plane just to find out, by talking to the two flight attendents, that the back bathroom was out of order again (it was broke coming to ga), and that my reading light was also broke. Score! Packed flight btw. There was one open seat but it was still day light enough for me to read by the window's light. I ran out of light about 8mins before I landed so it was good. Then got off of the plane and had perfect timing with Torey (Kikis boyfriend) to grab me from the airport and take me to the apartment.

So all and all it was a fun weekend. We leave in a little over a week for the Flordia Keys! Which will be nice to have a long vacation. Robbie is alittle bored down there with out me. The hotel isnt that close to anything and he does walk to class and to get dinner. I cant wait to see him. He comes home on Friday and Im getting him from the airport and then making him dinner. Probably going to chill for the rest of the weekend.

So that is that. Pictures are on Facebook! Enjoy!

end of the weekend posting

hello everyone!!!

well lets see where to start....saturday robbie and i woke up at 2:30am to get ready for robbies first crabbing trip with my mom and me. we were out of the house and on the road by 3am! on the water and out to our spot by 4am! yes it is very dark out there. but thats what head lamps are for. we laid out 30 crab traps with bait in them and on the second trap robbie caught the first crab! it was awsome. new maryland laws forbids social crabbers like me to keep female crabs. the reason is to eventually hope bring the crab population up. the size of the crabs have changed also. all this is fine by mom and me. shes been crabbing since she was younger and she started taking me around the age of 4 and i would love to do that with my children (if i ever get the chance to have them. thats another post later on). we caught a bussel of crabs by 10am. would have been more or finished earlier if we could keep the females. headed back to the boat ramp to head home. after we got home and got settled, robbie and i grabbed showers and got dressed for my boss' babyshower/bbq at her house. which was back in herdon va. so yea. hung out there for two hours and robbie got to meet my bosses and one of the drs i work for. then head back to the apartment where at 730pm robbie crashed. lol i didnt get to bed till 11pm. go figure.

sunday we woke up and had a lazy morning and then headed back to my moms for crabs. after steaming some and prepping the other ones for hard fries, i checked my banking account and say that amazon.com had taken $79.00 out! WTF! so i call them and ofcourse get someone who doesnt speak english and ask them why they took it out. appearntly two months ago when i ordered two books i signed up for a membership. i told them i didnt and they said yea i did bc when i checked out i didnt uncheck a box offering a free trial membership for two months then i would be charged. ummmm yea ok. didnt see that box....and if i didnt check it, why would you all be sneeky like that? so they said the offer me a refund however it woul be 3-4days for them to do it and then another 3-5business days for my bank to repost it. UGH! not going to work. so amazon tells me to call my bank and have them do something about it. so i called wachovia,and explained the situation to them. they said they couldnt do anything with out a written letter saying that it was the merchants mistake and then they would take the check card hold off of my account and delete it. UGH! so i call amazon back and again get someone who doesnt speak english and tell them to fax the letter over to the bank, yea i have a persons name and fax number direct to him at wachovia. they tell me they cant do it, bc the billing department is closed. ok give me a manager. so the manager getts onto the phone and tells me he cant send me a letter or the bank bc they have no way. but he can email it to me and says, "then mam you can print it out and fax it yourself." WTF! now my temper is beyond words. yea i have a printer and fax machine in my house just sitting around waiting! dumbass. i said well why cant you. he says he cant bc he doesnt have the equitment. are you telling me in the whole office building you are in that you dont have a printer and fax machine but think i do in my house! so they sent me the email. big whoopie! so back to wachovia i go. i get the same guy i had before and tell him. he calls amazon with me on the line and talks to them. they said that they put a rush on my account. so the wachovia guy tells me after we get off the phone with them that he would check my account and make sure by wednesday that everything was back to normal. he even agreed that it was messed up on how they trick you into that. and suggested that i call the better business bureo. which i plan to do tomorrow. i will never buy anything from amazon ever again and have started to spread the word about it.

this thursday robbie and i leave for a weekend in atlanta. then after i come back on sunday, robbie stays down for a class for the rest of the week. then we leave august 1st for our real vacation to the flordia keys! yeppie!!!!!

ok time for bed. lol got to get some sleep!
